Packaging Structures

Common Film Structures and What Each Layer Does

In multilayer packaging, the best result often comes from assigning different functions to different materials.

BOPP / CPP

BOPP + CPP

BOPP can provide clarity, stiffness, printability and moisture resistance, while CPP can provide the inner sealing function and flexibility. This combination is widely used as a starting structure for snack and other flexible packaging formats.

PET / CPP

PET + CPP

PET can provide mechanical strength, dimensional stability and a strong outer layer, while CPP can provide heat sealing and flexibility on the inside of a laminate.

Functional Lamination

Base Film + Functional Layer

For premium printed packaging, a functional surface may be added to deliver soft touch, anti-fingerprint, scratch resistance, decorative appearance or digital-print adhesion.

Performance Requirements

Start with the Property Your Packaging Needs Most

Matching the film to the dominant production or end-use requirement helps narrow the right product family.

Surface Protection

Anti-scratch, anti-scuff and durability options for packaging exposed to handling, logistics and retail display.

Premium Appearance

Gloss, matte, soft-touch, pearl, metallic and decorative effects for brand-led packaging and printed materials.

Fingerprint Control

Functional coatings can help reduce visible fingerprints, oil marks and handling smudges on premium dark surfaces.

Digital Print Adhesion

High-adhesion lamination films can support digital print finishing and help reduce bubbling or delamination risk.

Heat Sealing

Heat-sealable films are designed to form reliable bonds under controlled heat and pressure in suitable structures.

Moisture Resistance

BOPP and other selected film structures can provide moisture resistance appropriate to many dry-food and consumer-packaging applications.

Clarity & Gloss

Choose a suitable base film and finish when transparency, gloss and print appearance are critical to the package.

Custom Specifications

Thickness, roll width, core size, treatment level and other parameters can be aligned to specific converting equipment.
